About this property

The Twins at Sunset Beach #112 Dot

This listing is for 1 (#112 Dot) of the 2 charming Twin Cottages! They share a wooded 1/2 acre lot and an adjacent 55' lakefront lot with dock and mooring buoys! These twin cottages, named after the original owner's daughters (Dorothy & Ruth) also share 2 fire pits with Adirondack chairs, picnic tables at the beach, a charcoal grill & several kayaks. Each cottage has its own tabletop gas grill & picnic table. The twins have new decks attached to the cottages with convenient outdoor showers.

Dot is a cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage that has been freshened up from top to bottom. Dot has 2 Queen bedrooms (plus a sofa bed in the living room). It is suitable for 4 adults max & 2 children. Wifi, Roku TV, linens & some paper products are supplied - just bring your boat & beach towels!

No need to waste time at the boat launch on a daily basis. Instead, walk out onto our private dock and come and go as you please. Each cottage has its own mooring buoy. Higgins Lake is known for its sandy bottom with a very gradual depth drop, making it great for kids and adults alike. Enjoy one of the most beautiful lakes and Sunsets you will ever see.

The cottages are NON SMOKING of any kind.

The Twins are on the Northeast side of Higgins Lake (Sunset Side), located about 5 miles from Roscommon and 3 miles from I-75 exit 244. The cottages face the road end, but it's just a very short walk down the semi wooded lakefront lot to our private lakefront beach.

Thank you for your interest in our cottages. We look forward to seeing you.

Must be 25 years old to make a reservation - suitable for 4 adults max with 2 children. No pets are allowed unless both cottages are rented to the same group and approval has been given.

Owners prefer to rent both twin cottages to same group in peak season. June 13 - Mid Aug rent Sat to Sat. Also see listing for #114 "Ruth".

Wonderful Stay at the Twins

We arrived early and had property had no problem accommodating us throughout our stay. The moorings out front were a big help with the pontoon boat we were able to rent and the location was quiet and tranquil. We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful, peaceful time!

As most vacations are, the time spent at The Twins (Dot) was too short! We had a very cozy, quiet time in the woods and the very quaint lakefront area. We had some windy weather and weren't able to have a bonfire each night, but the final night afforded us a very nice multiple hour bonfire making s'mores and relaxing. The cabin was very clean and with many more general-purpose items (towels, plates, pots/pans/etc.) that allowed us to be very comfortable in a new rental. We wouldn't hesitate to return any time of the year, and we would love to check out the Higgins Lake area in the summertime! Thank you for having us!

Higgins Lake Stay

We had a great time during our visit to Higgins lake. The cottages were comfortable and worked out well for our young family. The water in the beach area was shallow, sandy bottom, and crystal clear. The owner was very friendly and had good communication. We had a great stay.

Comfy, clean little cabin

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here at Dot! Cabin is super clean and well equipped. Wish weather had cooperated, but hey it’s Michigan. Nice touches such as linens and paper products, coffee, filters and spices. Good quality cookware should u need it. Quiet neighborhood but I was here during the week after Labor Day. Thanks for the stay!

Perfect for our family.

Everything was as advertised. Booked both cabins so had the whole place to ourselves. Very clean, and really nicely decorated so you didn't really feel like you were in a hundred year old cabin. Had all the basic amenities in the kitchen you would need, and plenty of towels. The lake is just a short walk away, spent a lot of time down by the beach having a cocktail or two. The boat mooring was very close and the dock was plenty long enough to load all the people and gear on. Spent every night around the fire, kinda felt like camping!! Hosts were very accessible. Can't wait to stay again!

Has everything you need!

We stayed here for a week with friends in the other cottage. It is a perfect set up for two families vacationing together. The property is spacious with plenty of room to park boat trailers. The beach area is clean and it gives plenty of room for fires and just hanging out. We have no complaints and would recommend it to friends. Definitely keeping it in mind for the future!

Adorable cottage; beautiful sunsets

The cottage was adorable. It was very clean, charming and fully equipped with all necessary items. The beds were very comfortable. The ceiling fans were very quiet, great for sleeping. You can tell the owners paid special attention to the decorations to reflect the time period of the cottage, but still modern. Sitting on the dock watching the sunsets was heavenly. Michelle is very helpful and attentive. We plan on returning in the near future! I would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy a quaint cottage, quiet neighborhood, beautiful location with the dock/beach a few feet away. Just beware the deer in the area like to look inside the cottage in the early morning hours.

Perfect location and cottage!

Everything was great! Cabin was well stocked and cute as can be! Michelle was so accommodating and made us feel right at home! We felt like we were right on the lake with a short path access! Fantastic fireworks and beautiful sunsets over crystal clear water (the “up North” Caribbean )! Highly recommend! We will be back again! Thanks Michelle!

Cute Little Gem

Cutest little cottage, my family of 5 truly enjoyed our time. Everything was very clean and had all the essentials needed. Michelle was very responsive to any questions and accommodating. We rented in the winter time and enjoyed the Higgins Winter fest that they had going on there. We look forward to renting again and enjoying the place in the summertime. The Gorney Family

Cute updated cottage near Higgins Lake

Cottage is very cute and quiet, accommodating and clean. Owners are very nice and responsive to questions. I was here for business travel and it was nice to not be sharing space in a hotel or B & B, and the price is comparable. I enjoy cooking for myself so having full access to kitchen facilities was perfect. Cabinets are well stocked with everything you might need.

Great little cabin in a nice quite setting. Easy access to the lake.

We had a great time at the cabin. We enjoyed the lake. It was great for our kids. The shallow water allowed them to play safely. We also enjoyed the state parks in the area. Over all the cabin and the lake were great.

Fantastic, convenient cottage on Higgins Lake

My family of 4 stayed here for a week and could not have been happier! The cottage is very close to the lake shore, my kids could go back and forth freely to the water and dock without my close supervision. The kitchen had everything that we needed. I cooked all week like we were at home with no problem. The whole place was clean and comfortable, bathroom has a full shower, we built a fire one night down at the beach and one night up behind the cottage, we enjoyed the picnic table and the fire pit. The air conditioner was necessary for a few of the hot days and cooled the cottage off quickly and the ceiling fans in both bedrooms were nice too. If we weren't so far away (Southeastern PA) we would consider making this an annual summer vacation place!

Why they chose this property

Higgins Lake is beautiful and within 2 hours of our home (Metro Detroit). We felt it was the perfect distance to travel for an up north property. We came across these 2 Cottages and immediately felt attached. The fact that they came with a lakefront lot allowing us to have our own private beach, dock and boat mooring rights, sealed the deal.

What makes this property unique

The cottages are located on the northeast side of Higgins Lake, providing some of the most spectacular sunsets imaginable. These Twins have a very long family history with the land dating back almost 100 years. They were named after the original owner’s two daughters (Dot #112 & Ruth #114).
